Thanksgiving of 2008 will live in my memory as an unorthodox and wonderful day.
Stephanie and Byron kindly invited Logan and I out for a day of hunting! I couldn't resist such an opportunity. A day with great friends... trudging through nature with dogs... and getting my dog on some live birds! What could be better?
So South we headed and arrived at the release site greeted by about a million other hunters... most of which had been there for a couple of hours already. Needless to say we didn't have an opportunity to actually flush a bird. But, Logan did find a pheasant wing... and he was VERY proud of that!
The dogs went for a good 4.5 hrs in the cold, drizzly weather doing their best to round of a living creature. However it was not for naught, Logan got used to gun fire (he was obsessed with the gun) and working away from me. He followed the lead of the senior dogs and did smashingly well!
The next day Stephanie decided to go for a hike followed by our longest tracks yet. 400+ yards on unfamiliar terrain. He took about 10 minutes to finish his line, it had been aged about 20 min. by the point we got on it. Olivia did hers in about 7 min, she's a fast little girl! We have great dogs!
Pictures will follow!
